()Chapter 3, a simple song

Cui Xiuying lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, sitting upright, resisting the almost dense atmosphere of silence in the living room. Su Yong knew that Cui's father was deliberately putting pressure on her. Since his father became the president, he has been managing the company for a long time, and he doesn't know if it is.

With the move, the original scholarly atmosphere of the architect has gradually faded, and the majestic feeling of being the president has become stronger. It is also this change that makes Cui Xiuying and her father seem to be gradually strangers and no longer so close. Although for education

For his children, Cui's father has less and less direct "teaching" Cui Xiuying, but this kind of psychological repression is not inferior to the direct "love education". Coupled with the cooperative atmosphere of the mother and sister, today's dual-core

Cui Xiuying also has a feeling of being too grand and afraid to show off.

Therefore, this unexpected phone call was a savior that broke the atmosphere. When he picked up the phone, Su Yong was about to cry, shouting in his heart that it came at the right time.

"Hello, is this the Cui family's residence? I apologize for calling you so hastily. This is Park Jung Ah. Is Miss Cui Xiuying here?"

Looking for her? Park Jung Ah? Choi Soo Young recalled the hug she gave Boa goodbye at the airport, and the strange words she said at that time.

Gift?

Seeing her mother's questioning look from the corner of her eye, Cui Xiuying covered the phone, pointed at herself with the receiver, indicating that it was her phone, and then continued the call despite the strange looks in her family's eyes.

"Hello, Park Jung Ah senior, I am Choi Soo Young. I heard Boa senior talk about you."

"Ah, that guy from boa asked me to call you, but he gave me a Japanese number, and I couldn't get through at all." Listening to the lively and enthusiastic voice on the other end of the phone, Cui Xiuying couldn't help but stick out her tongue. She was in Japan

The mobile phone I was using was turned off before leaving, and then I threw it aside and left it to fend for itself. The time I returned to Korea was too short, and I didn’t even have time to get a new mobile phone. Who knew that this senior was so impatient that he contacted me the same day he returned home?

"I finally called Riben again and asked her for your home phone number. I'm in a hurry. I'm calling at this time. You should have just returned home not long ago. Didn't I disturb your reunion with your family?"

Why bother? It’s too late to thank you. “I’m not bothering you, but it’s really troublesome for senior to take the time to call me even though he has such a busy schedule.”

"No trouble, do you know why I'm looking for you?"

"の..., I'm not sure, but senior Boa mentioned it when he gave it to me." Cui Xiuying doesn't mention gifts to people she has never met. In case Boa has other intentions or plans,

If there is a misunderstanding, you will be embarrassed.

"It seems that Boa hasn't told you yet..." Pu Zhenya pondered for a moment, and immediately her tone became a little proud, as if she thought of something interesting. "How about we make an appointment to meet?

Sample?"

"Okay, I've been very free recently. I wonder when will senior be free?"

Park Jung Ah seemed to be asking someone about something there, probably checking with her manager about her itinerary for the next few days. "Well, I happened to be busy with the activities of Gangnam District Youth Anti-Smoking Promotion Ambassador recently... So, next Monday morning,

At about 10 o'clock, let's meet at i in Sinsa-dong and we'll talk about it in detail. Please record it, this is my agent's mobile phone number."

"Okay, senior." Sinsa-dong is so close to her home. Cui Xiuying casually recorded the number in the phone book next to it.

"Well, also, boa wants me to tell you that she said hello to s.m. You can just go to the company directly. Do you understand what she means?"

"Yes, senior. Thank you." It can be said that this is really unexpected good news. Cui Xiuying was still thinking about how she should return to SM on the plane. This time, she no longer had any worries.

"Don't thank me, this is what boa did for you. Okay, see you next week."

"Goodbye, senior." Cui Xiuying waited for the other party to hang up the phone, then handed over the phone and faced the family sitting around her again. The soundproofing of the landline was not as good as expected, and the conversation just now was about the people sitting nearby.

They all roughly heard the same thing.

"Friend?" The first person to ask was my mother.

"No, she is a friend of senior Boa. Senior asked her to take care of me in Korea." At this time, Cui Xiuying thought that Boa might have found a good friend in the entertainment industry to replace her big sister position in Japan and be able to help her from time to time.

When Cui Xiuying set out again, she received some guidance and care from the forerunners. She didn't know until later that this was really a big gift.

She really heard her sister mention Boa's name in front of her, and her sister Cui Xiuzhen was really excited. The elder girl quickly hugged her sister's arm, her eyes widened with desire. Cui Xiuying ignored her sister's request for knowledge and continued to look.

He was holding his father's hand, waiting for his sentencing.

Strangely, after the long repressed silence was interrupted, the man quietly listened to his daughter's call without saying anything more. He stood up and seemed to be going upstairs to rest. Just as he was going upstairs, Cui

Dad said without looking back: "It's getting late. Xiuying is tired after flying all day. Go to bed early." Before taking two steps, he seemed to have heard Cui Xiuzhen's suppressed voice of joy and added: "Xiuzhen

Don't disturb your sister, you have to go to school tomorrow and go to bed early."

Cui Xiuzhen, who had turned into a fanatical fan, didn't care about this. She pulled her sister aside and began to ask about Boa's latest situation in detail. Seeing this scene, Cui's mother smiled helplessly and sat with her for a while, feeling that she was right.

These topics really didn't interest me. I prepared some drinks for my two daughters and then went upstairs.

The two sisters chatted like this for a long time. Cui Xiuying couldn't hold on to the boredom at first, and fell into sleepiness. Looking at her sister who seemed to be increasingly lacking in conversational skills, Cui Xiuzhen rolled her eyes and suddenly seemed to remember something. "Xiuying,

Come with me, I'll show you something good." After saying that, he took Cui Xiuying's hand and went to the second floor regardless.

At the end of the corner on the second floor, Cui Xiuying saw that the door of the room that was originally used as a storage room was very different from what she had in mind. This room was used to store some of the two sisters’ sundries, unwanted toys, discarded or disliked toys.

Cui's mother would come to clean clothes and other things regularly. Later, somehow, this room slowly became the secret base of the two sisters. Here Cui Xiuying would teach Qiuzhi Yushi the training she received in the company in a strict manner.

Qiang's sister, Cui Xiuzhen, imitated the training, and even held many "special concerts" here with her sister. After being accidentally discovered by adults several times, the two sisters simply designated this place as their own forbidden area.

The door was tightly secured and even had a sign saying "Adults Not Allowed".

Nowadays, the room full of joy in my memory has been decorated and has lost its original appearance. The maroon door looks very thick and is surrounded by familiar double-channel sealing strips. When you open the door, the inner door is a full side of crest sound-absorbing cotton.

The next thing that catches the eye is a walnut upright piano on the right. The entire piano body is designed to be noble and elegant, with a music table like a classical cabinet. Su Yong knew before opening the piano cover that this was a high-end Yamahaw series.

Play the piano. When I was tinkering with electronic keyboards in my previous life, I also fantasized about how I would play the piano, but at most I just looked at pictures on the Internet to satisfy my cravings. Now, my favorite thing has truly appeared in front of me.

, the real touch and the unique smell in the air really made the girl feel a bit shocked.

Cui Xiuying took two steps forward and opened the piano cover, and the gold-plated word "yamaha" appeared in front of her eyes. She pressed the keys a few times and asked Cui Xiuzhen without looking back: "Sister, when did you buy it?"

"Beautiful, it was my birthday gift after you went to Japan. Dad asked me to choose it myself, so I chose this most beautiful one."

It is indeed a shopping concept for women who have no financial burden. Instead of choosing the right one, choose the most beautiful one. "This is Yamaha's top series. Isn't it a waste for a layman like you to get started? Isn't it just one-handed meditation now?"

?Can you play "Little Star"?" Cui Xiuying couldn't help but complain.

Cui Xiuzhen, who was despised, suddenly became furious. "Ah, you girl, how can you talk to your sister? You have been a trainee for two years and debuted for more than a year. What can you play?"

"Hehe." Sister Cui only saw her younger sister smile strangely for no apparent reason, then she opened the piano stool and started pressing the keys. In the past, Cui Xiuying didn't know how good she was at the piano, but now Su Yong can't suppress the sound emanating from his finger bones.

Itchy feeling.

I moved my fingers and tried the buttons, and became more familiar with the impulse to play from my heart. A voice with a simple melody floated out from the girl's hand. Once upon a time, music was the best way to pass the time;

The familiar keyboard is gathering dust in the corner; in the past, occasionally pressing the keys with difficulty only brought a worse mood; now, seeing the big toy that I once dreamed of, how can I not feel a little excited?

With the simple rhythm and melody, how could Cui Xiuzhen not recognize that this was the "Little Star" that Cui Xiuying said just now? Looking at her sister's fingering, which was still a bit stiff, she was about to speak, but she found Cui Xiuying playing a few accelerated strings, and then switched.

After listening to the tune, the stiff feeling no longer existed for a while and turned into a smooth and free bouncing feeling.

Su Yong has practiced various piano scores, but to him they are just exercises, a means of getting familiar with the piano. He has never dreamed of being a pianist, he prefers to play pop songs. He plays and sings by himself.

, it seems that you can express some feelings hidden deep in your heart without worrying about the eyes of others.

Cui Xiuying changed the rhythm again, this time the rhythm was more relaxed. She raised her head and looked at her sister, her eyes full of excitement, and started singing.

"The world is complicated and confuses what I want to say.

I don’t understand too complicated grammar

What kind of gift can be remembered forever?

Let happiness not go too hastily..."

Cui Xiuzhen didn't understand the meaning of the song her sister sang. It seemed to be a Chinese song. But she could feel the faint sadness and faint expectation revealed in the melody of the song clearly. Maybe she was still unfamiliar, having just sung it for two times.

During the sentence, Cui Xiuying's playing became somewhat disordered. While her sister lowered her head to adjust the rhythm, Cui Xiuzhen secretly opened the soundproof door of the room.

Cui Xiuying quickly found the rhythm. She did not continue to sing, but just played the melody more skillfully. The keys became more and more tamed under her fingers. During this period, the girl tried several variations, and then moved to the canon practice.

Cui Xiuzhen leaned against the piano and watched her sister playing more and more devotedly. She was not surprised or jealous of her sister's piano skills. She looked at her sister's expression, closed her eyes slightly, and pursed her lips. Her sister went home.

Her behavior since then has been normal. Normal pretending to be a lady, normal carelessness, normal coquettishness. But Cui Xiuzhen knew that her sister was hiding something in her heart. This trip to Japan would not be as simple as she heard.

Only now, Cui Xiuying, who plays the piano, reveals a little bit of her deep heart.

"Xiuying, what song did you sing just now? A Chinese song?"

"What do you mean?" Cui Xiuying returned to the melody just now, "Well, I heard the song by chance and I like it very much."

"Sing two more lines."

After hearing her sister's request, Cui Xiuying looked at Cui Xiuzhen with a smile, but the rhythm under her fingers quickly passed through the verses and came to the chorus. Her playing became more powerful and her voice became higher-pitched. However, this time she sang

It's in Korean.

"Write a simple song to make you feel happy

A dream is like a river, it is inevitable that there will be setbacks

There is nothing unique about this simple song

It’s like me, so ordinary yet profound.”

The singing voice was flying, but Cui Xiuzhen was not the only audience.

Nainai on the first floor was not asleep. When she heard the singing, she was looking at the photo of her wife and muttering to herself. After hearing the singing, Nainai just quietly put down the photo, sat, listened, and smiled.

Cui's mother was sorting out Cui's father's clothes for tomorrow. She was a little surprised when the sound of the piano came, but it soon turned into surprise and relief. "It seems that Xiuying is singing."

"Yeah." Cui's father flipped through the documents in his hand, noncommittal. When the second song came, Cui's father put down the documents and adjusted his black-rimmed glasses. "Xiuzhen, this kid, likes to play little tricks."

"It's not like you don't know her. Although she's not as bold as Xiuying, she has a stubborn temperament, just like the three of you father and daughter. If Xiuzhen doesn't dare to say anything herself, she'll go and encourage her sister. Now, don't you also tacitly allow her to pursue the path of music?

Yet?"

"Just buy a piano, don't think too much about it."

"You just don't relax your mouth."

Cui's father did not answer, but listened intently to the music in the air. The repeated lyrics became more and more full and passionate. After a while, the singing stopped and turned into a chaotic rhythm and the laughter of the two sisters. Cui's father was silent.

After a moment, he picked up the phone next to his hand and dialed a number.

"Director Kim? It's me...Has there been any change in S·M's stock price recently?...Nothing, I'm just paying personal attention...Well, Director Kim should pay more attention."

ps: Let’s talk about the character setting here. For example, Cui’s father actually works as a department manager of Daewoo Group, but I overlapped his identity with Cui Xiuying’s grandfather. On the one hand, it was changed for the subsequent plot.
